Boteied at the fcst Office it Richmond. Indiana, aa 84 oni C!am Mail Matter. Who Is Loony? Wc seem to be encouraging the idea that manslaughter is a fashion of showing that one has been annoyed. Sunday night three Italians went into a moving picture theatre in South Halsted street',' had' a quarrel with an usher, and were put out of the place. Monday night the three went back with three more, took up the quarrel again, and one of the theater employes was shot. The newspapers which recorded this jocose

incident in our city life contained also the grotesque story of the madman who enlivened Hammond life by appearing in court in armor of sheet iron and shooting the judge, the bailiff, and ft juror. The same newspapers recorded the fact that a young Italian was shot while walking along Forquer street in Chicago. These are trivial incidents in a sectidn of the country which is coming to believe that a revolver is a fair argument and a sawed off shotgun is a pleasantry ; ' - If you don't like a man's looks, shoot him. If he says something with which you do not agree, and if you think it would be a waste of time to argue with him, shoot him. If a person bumps into you in the street, shoot hirri. If he steps on your foot and apologizes, reject the apology and shoot him. V V Shoot 'em doVn. The community accepts these incidents placidly, along with its morning porridge. The shooting gentleman in Hammond was obviously crazy. Just how loony are the folks who tolerate the "shoot 'em down" code ? Chicago Tribune.

THE GOLD OF BY ARTHUR B. REEVE

THE GODS (A Mystery of the Incas Solved by Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

While I completed my hasty toilet, Lockwood sat in our living room, gazing about with fascination at the collections ot trophies of the chase of criminals. ' "This is positively a terrifylsg array ot material, Jameson," he declared as at last I emerged. "Between what Kennedy has here and what he has stowed away in that laboratory of his, I wonder that any one dares be a crook." 1 could not help eyeing him keenly. Could he have spoken so heartily if he had known what it was, damning to himself, that Kennedy had tucked away in the laboratory? If he knew, he must have been a splendid actor, one of those whom only the minute blood-pressure test of the sphymograph could induce to give up a Secret and then only in spite of himself. . "It is wonderful," I agreed. "Are you ready?" We left the aparthient and walked along in the bracing morning air toward the campus and the Chemistry Bailding. Sure enough, as I had expected, Kennedy was in his laboratory. As we entered he was verifying his experiments and checking over his rennlts, carefully endeavoring to isolate any of the other closely related mydriatic alkaloids that might be contained In the noxious fumes of - the poionrd tobacco. ThmiTh Craig was already convinced of wliat was going on, I knew that he nlwnys considered it a matter of considerable medio-legal importance to bs nct, for if the affair ever came to th stage of securing an indl?imtt tWckarge could te sustained only b specific proof. As we appeared In the doar, however, he laid aside his work, and greeted LS.

"I suppose Jameson has already totd yoii.. that I called you ub last night and what I said?" began Lockwood. Kennedy nodded. "It was something about Norton, wasn't it?" Lockwood leaned over impressively and almost whispered: "Of course, you are in no position to know, but there are ugly rumours current down In Lima among the natives regarding that dagger." . . Kennedy did not appear to be particularly impressed. "Is that so?" he said merely. "What are they?" "Well." resumed Xockwood, "I was hot in Lima At the time.' I was up here.' Cut they tell me that there was something crooked about thd way that that dagger was got away from an Indian a brother of Senora deMoche." "Ye3." replied Kennedy, "I know eomethiri? about it. He committed fuiclde. Dut what has that to do with Norton?" Lockwood hesitated, then shrugged his shoulders. "I Ghould think the inference was plain," he insinuated. Then, looking at Craig flxdly, as though to take his measure, he added, "Wo are not out of touch with what is going on down there, even if we are several thousand miles away." I Wondered whether he had any Information more than we had already obtained by X-raying the letter to Whitney signed "Haggerty." If he had. it was not his purpose, evidently, yet to disclose it. I felt from his manner that he was not playing a trumpcard, but was Just feeling us out by this lead. "There wa? some crooked business about that dagger down there as well as here." he pursued. "There are many Interests connected with it. Don't you think that it would be worth while witchlng Norton?" he paused, then added: "We do and we're going to to It." ''Thank you very much." returned Kennedy quietly. "Mr. Whitney has already told me he intended to do so." Lockwood eyed us critically, as thojgh not quite sure what to make of the cool manner in which Craig took it. "I think if I were y6u," he said at length, "I'd keep a close watch on the deMoches, both of them, too."

"Exactly," agreed Craig, without showing undue interest. Lockwood had risen. "Well," he snapped, "you may not think much of what I am telling you now. But just wait , until our detectives begin to dig up facts." No sooner had he left than t turned to Craig. "What was that?" I asked. "A plant?" ' . . "Perhaps," he returned, clearing up the materials which he had been using. The telephone ring. "Hello, Norton," I heard Craig answer. "What's that? You are shadowed by some one you think it is by Whitney?" I had been expecting something of the sort, and listened attentively, but

it was impossible to gather the drift of the one-sided conversation. As Kennedy hung up the receiver I remarked, "So it was not a bluff, after ell." . . "I think my plan is working," he remarked thoughtfully. "You . heard what'he said? He guesses right the first ilme, that it is Whitney. The last thing he said was. "I'll get even! Til take some action! and then he rang oft. I think we'll hear something soon." Instead of going out, Kennedy pulled out the several unsigned letters we had collected, and began the laborious process of studying the printing, analyzing it, in the hope that he might discover some new clue.

I had a very severe case of systemic catarrh of twenty years' standing. It had affected my hearing badly, toy nose would bleed often, frequently had gatherings in my head, with severe headaches. I. also had a bad cough, it also affected my stomach so that I could scarcely eat. anything without beihg in distress, and was constipated. NATURA was recommended to ine for all forms of catarrh. I first bought three bottles. I am now taking my fourth bottle and am improving rapidly; soon after I began taking NATURA my cough ceased; I am eating anything I want, my stomach takes care of it perfectly, my nose does not bleed any more, my hearing is much improved. I do not catch cold like I did and am not constipated any more. I can heartily recommend NATURA as a dependable medicine, as it does all you claim for it. Yours truly, MRS. MARY H.
